The Negro's Gala Day Dr B. Eric T. Washington Sounds Keynote at Jamestown. SUCCESS OF EXPOSITION NO LONGER IN DOUBT. Tuskegee Educator Urges Race to Take Advantages of Every Opportunity to Demonstrate Worth and Capacity — Cheering Welcome of President Tucker — Flawless Program Executed without a Hitch — Hampton and Fisk Largely in Evidence — National Concise of Representative Negroes Exhibit Achievement of Race in Exemplary Fashion. Jamestown Exposition Grounds, North Va. August 4 — Under cloudless skies and amid an enthusiasm that has not been paralleled during the life of the historic panorama on Hampton Roads, "Negro Day" was fittingly observed a yesterday. Ten thousand joyous, handsomely attuned, sober and well-behaved colored people witnessed the exercises, inspected the magnificent building and its valuable contents, and shook hands with friends and acquaintances from every section of the country. The affair was "national" on scope and inspiring in effect. From dawn to darkness there was not a hitch in the carefully planned arrangements. The occasion was epochal, in that it marks the turning point in the fortunes of the Negro Department of the Tercentennial Exposition. The enthusiasm of the supporters of the institution has been intensified into the liveliest inter- est. The tremendous outpouring of the beauty, brilliance and brawn of the descendants of the twenty Negro slaves who landed on this spot only three hundred years ago was not only a triumph for the managers of the Negro Department, but a distinct benefit to the James-town Laposition as a whole, and its popularizing influence was felt most helplily in every direction. All of the exhibit buildings were visited. The "Wa. Path" and kindred attractions were liberally patronized, and the restaurants and various places for public comfort and accommodation kept "open house" to their colored guests throughout the day. Dr. Washington Sounds a Lofty Keynote The bright and particular star of the occasion, of course, was Dr. Booker T. Washington, the widely known educator, orator, and founder of Tuskegee Institute.pronounced by President N.St. George Tucker to be "the greatest American in America." His unusually able and vigorous address covered the entire range of current race topics. It was high-pitched, clear and convincing, and was listened to with rapt attention, his telling points being greeted with evidences of the warmest approval. The eloquent message in praise of the marvelous progress of his people and in commendation of the practical efforts of the Exposition officials in exploiting it, sounded a key-note of hope, of opportunity and of civic usefulness, and the uplifting spirit which pervaded every utterance will cheer and hearten his thousands of hearers for many a day. The Day in Detail. The crowd gathered early at the grounds, large delegations coming in from Portsmouth, Hampton, Newport News and surrounding cities of Tidewater Virginia. Washington, Richmond and many metropolitan cities of the nation were largely represented. Three hundred teachers who had been attending the convention at Hampton, and a large number of delegates to the Hampton Conference augmented the immense throng. After exchanging greetings on the Negro Reservation, they gravitated naturally toward the spacious Lee Parade, where the Hampton students were announced for an exhibition drill at 11 o'clock. The grand stand from which President Roosevelt spoke on the occasion of his two visits here was well when the Hampton Institute Band was announced in review, fol- Their evolutions were skiliformed under the command of Allen Washington, the more diffe- mences evoking tremendous use in the box of honor were Dr. T. Washington, and staff, con- of his son E. Davidson; Travel- Secretary J. A. Cox and wife, and Mrs Emmett J. Scott, together with Chairman T. J. Calloway, Secretary-Treasurer Andrew F. Hilyer, Mrs. A.

Hill, Secretary Robert Kelser and other officials of the Negro Development and Exposition Company, besides Mrs. T. J. Calloway, assistant hostess of the Negro Building, and Dr. A. M. Curtis, chairman of the committee of the Medical Exhibit. In the fashion boxes were many distinguished ladies and gentlemen from abroad, including Dr. J. H. Jones, president of Wilberforce University; Prof. R. R. Wright, president of Colored State Industrial College, Savannah, Ga.; Prof. J. H. N. Waring, principal of the High and Manual Training School, Baltimore; Dr. W. B. Evans, principal of Armstrong Manual Training School, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Lucy E. Moten, principal of Normal School, No. 2, and Prof. J. W. Cromwell, principal of Banneker School of the same place; Prof. J. R. E. Lee, president National Association of Colored Teachers; Dr. F. J. Grimke, of Washington; Major R. R. Noten, of Hampton; Dr. W. Decker Johnson, president of Allen University; Dr. J. W. Collett, business manager A. M. E. Publishing House, and many others of like prominence. At the conclusion of the highly enjoyable drill on Lee Parade, Dr. Washington, the officers, and the people in general proceeded by way of Commonwealth avenue and the "War Path" to the grounds of the Negro Building, where the exercises of the day were continued. Taking Advantage of Opportunities. Dr. Washington spoke in part, as follows: I wish to express the gratitude of my race to the management of this exposition for the opportunity here presented to exhibit our progress as a people. I also wish to congratulate Mr. Thomas J. Calloway and his board of assistants, as well as Mr. Jackson, for their successful efforts in making the Negro Department a matter of pride to our race. Everyone who has contributed, in a slight degree, to the success of this Exposition deserves the thanks of our entire people. "Since coming to these grounds I am free to say that I have been pleased and greatly surprised at the neat and attractive appearance of the Negro Building. From an architectural point of view it does high credit to Mr. Pittman and all connected with its construction. I have been equally surprised and pleased at the large exhibit which has been installed in such an attractive and instructive manner. I am equally free to say that I wish that every member of my race could come here and witness these evidences of progress in agricultural, mechanical, housekeeping, educational, moral and religious development. In all these matters, those in charge of the Negro Department deserve the highest praise. I know that all this has been accomplished under great difficulties, but I have long recognized that hardships lay back of all things worth while. "I have been equally interested and gratified on account of the deportment of the thousands gathered upon these grounds today. They present a clean, orderly, sober, industrious appearance. This deportment on a public occasion such as this is within itself the highest evidence of your progress. Whenever an opportunity to see the slightest evidence of the progress of our race presents itself there our people should not fail to put in appearance in large numbers." Dr. Washington referred feelingly to the sacred memories that clustered about this vicinity which was to him a home for several years. It was as a student at Hampton that he gathered his first inspiration to go forward to hold up his head and strive to be a man. He felt that he owed to Hampton an everlasting debt of gratitude for whatever he had been able to accomplish had its root in that great institution. "I believe that our people should take advantage of every opportunity, no matter wherever presented, North or South, to show to the world the progress that we as a race are making. No battle was ever won by an army standing still or sulking in its tents. Racial battles are to be won by marching forward, not by halting. "There are some special reasons why we should have a part in the James-town Exposition. It was near this spot, nearly three hundred years ago, that the first representatives of our race were brought into America. It is especially fitting therefore, that since here we entered slavery that on the same spot we should show results of improvement both in slavery and in freedom. When our first representatives landed we were only twenty in number, now there are nearly ten millions; when our first representatives landed here we had no uniform language, now we speak the English tongue. For the most part we were pagan, now we profess Christianity. "More and more as a race I believe that we should emphasize our opportu- WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY AUGUST 10, 1907. Chiffo DR.

In the fundamental things of life we have great opportunities before us as a race in this country. No one who would be honest should deny or overlook the fact that we have disadvantages with which to contend, and that acts of injustice are often perpetrated on us, as a race, but in spite of all this, in the fundamental consideration of securing a home, of earning and saving money, of finding employment, either in skilled or common labor, in entering into business or professional life, no one can deny the fact that in America, and especially in the South, that we have a rare opportunity. These are the things in hand, and we should get all of them possible. Utilizing the Education We Have. "In the matter of securing and using education we have, in this country as a whole, an opportunity which we should highly value. While in many sections there are discouragements, acts of unfairness, yet taking the country as a whole, the public school system is wide open to our race; further, without hindrance, we are at liberty to establish DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT FIFTEEN THOUSAND P private schools, industrial schools, colleges, and professional institutions. One of the peculiar advantages presented by the South consists in the fact that we are at liberty to use whatever education we receive in promoting our own welfare, as well as the welfare of others. "No one event, during the past year has been so important as the magnificent gift of $1,000,000 by Miss Anna T.Jeanes of Philadelphia, the interest of which is to be used in promoting rural schools. So long as the race finds such friends we need not despair. "Again, we not only have an opportunity to make progress in material and educational lines, but we are in a position where no man can take from us the privilege of having a beautiful, well-kept home with high moral standards. Throughout this country we have freedom of religious worship and the progress that he have made in the number of ministers and church organizations clearl proves that we are taking advantage of that opportunity. "We of both races here in the South have the opportunity of teaching the world how two races, dissimilar in many respects, can live together, side by side, in peace and harmony, each promoting the welfare and happiness of the other. The South Should Exploit Its Resources "I believe, too, that the South should call attention more often than it does to the general progress that our people are making. And you have a right to be proud of this progress. I shall never forget the impression that a Southern white man in the little town of Tuskegee, where I live, made upon me some time ago when he passed a grocery store, and with one exception I think it is the largest and most successful grocery store in that town, owned by a colored man, and pointed to the Negro merchant and to his store, and said: 'I am proud of that man; I owned his father, and I am proud of his success.' We get so much in the habit of dwelling upon our difficulties that I am afraid too often we fail to emphasize the progress that both races are making in the working out of this tremendous problem. But when we consider, my friends, that complications of this problem, when we consider where we started forty years ago, I believe that we have every reason to congratulate ourselves that we have done as well as we have, and have had as few difficulties Continued to page four. EDITOR DAVIS DISSENTING OPINION. Statement in re the dissenting opinion by Grand Treasurer B. J. Davis, in the Alabama case recently decided by the S. C. M. of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America: To the Members of the Grand United Order of O. F. in America: The writer of the dissenting opinion in the Alabama case, recently decided by the S. C. M. of the G. U. O. of O. F., desires to say that he now here withdraws from, erases and strikes out of said dissenting opinion the following words, to wit: "Now therefore in view of this unprecedented action of the S. C. M. so revolutionary in character and constituting a menace against the perpetuity of the Order"—and AT THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION PEOPLE GREET HIM. also the words, to wit: "There is not one iota of evidence presented to the S. C. M. in the case"—and also these words: "Upon this ex-parte showing judgment was entered against our brethren in Alabama without notice to them or giving them an opportunity to be heard." And also the words: "Yet the Grand Master tells you that after a careful and impartial hearing the S. C. M. determined a fair trial is advertised in the proclamation and yet no copy of the charge was served upon the defendants—the defendant D. G. L. not cited to appear still you are asked to believe that the S. C. M. acted with due deliberation." And also does the writer expressly strike out of his said dissenting opinion the words: "The action of the S. C. M. in this case was purely one of lynch law. No mob ever acted with less respect for the rights of man than the S. C. M. did on this occasion. The S. C. M. acted upon the mere statement of C. F. Johnson without hearing from the D. G. L. of Alabama or serving notice upon it that it was in court and its case would be tried. The defendant D. G. L. had no knowledge that it was in court and therefore made no answer." And the writer now here states that at the hearing of the said Alabama Sase by the S. C. M. there was present before the S. C. M. Bro. C. A. Howze, the then D. G. M. of said D. G. L No. 23, and before the S C. M. decided said case Bro. Howze made a statement. The writer of the dissenting opinion now here withdraws and strikes out of said dissenting opinion the following words, to wit: "The brethren in Alabama were simply taken up and lynched without hearing." And also are the following words withdrawn from said dissenting opinion, to wit: "The S. C. M. proceeded in the case upon the assumption that C. F. Johnson had more rights that it was bound to respect than the other 23,000 Odd Fellows who were at home innocent and at work." And also are the following words in the said dissenting opinion withdrawn, to wit: "If this unprecedented action of the S. C. M. is acquiesced in then the honor and prosperity of every jurisdiction in America is at the mercy of the ward heeler and grafter." The writer of the dissenting opinion also withdraws from said dissenting opinion. the following words, viz: "The whole proceedings bore the undoubted ear marks of political persecution and display a masked attempt to pay off and discharge a political debt." The writer of the said dissent-opinion now here also states to the members of the Order that while he did not agree with his colleagues on the S. C. M. in the opinion and decision reached by them in the Alabama case, yet he in no wise wishes to in any way impugn their motives or reflect upon their honesty or standing either as Odd Fellows or men; he simply does not agree with them as to their conclusions, conceding to them that which he reserves to himself: an honest, manly, fair difference of opinion, without any reflection upon the S. C. M. or any member thereof because the writer could not and did not agree with a majority of the S. C. M. To the end that the Order may know that this, and this only, was what was intended this is published. Center Marshfield, August 6, 1907. Mr. Editor: In view of your observations in your issue of the 3rd inst., on the faculty of Howard University, permit me to say that I have observed that a number of papers have announced the election of a "dean" of the College of Arts, misled, no doubt, by the fact that a successor to Dean Fairfield, as a professor in that department, had been elected. The deanship is an executive office, independent of the professorship, and the election of a dean was deferred till the meeting of the board of trustees, the professor having been elected by joint action of the teachers' committee and executive committee. Again, no "reorganization" of the college is contemplated. By action of the deans and board of trustees a careful revision and correlation of the courses of study have already been made. I have found the faculties of the departments composed of well-equipped, earnest and devoted workers, fellowship with whom in service I have greatly enjoyed, and the outlook promises a year of unusual attendance and strong, united and successful work.

Mr. Taft has no more chance for the nomination than you have, and you have about as much as a snowbird in hell. Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated; and he will be elected. He has promised prominent men in the South that he intends, if re-elected, to put the Negro where he belongs—as a servant—and keep him there. This will carry the South for him.

Whitesides, of Omaha, Neb., filed suit against the Adams Express Company for $20,000 because, he alleges, they lost the diploma given him by Harvard College upon his graduation. Because the Jamestown Exposition authorities have failed to remit the first $100,000 due on the loan of $1,000,000 made, by the government to the Exposition, the Treasury officials are not much alarmed. Earle Frisbie, an aeronaut, and his wife nearly burned to death last Sunday, while their balloon was inflating at Fairview, Martinez, Cal.

Gordon, of Philadelphia, reported at a session of the Zionists' convention here that stock to the amount of $50,000 had already been subscribed for, with exercises of a similar sum as soon as the bank is established. One of the features of this bank will be a steamship brokerage department, which will serve to protect the poop and ignorant Jews of the East side of New York city from the frauds practiced on them by irresponsible men.* Set consists of 12 double-edged blades (24 keen cutting edges) with triple silver-plated holder in velvet lined case.

NEW RECORD IN JUNE BRIDES. One Every Thirteen Minutes for the Month in Chicago. Chicago.—While you read these words, stop and think! Chicago has 3,300 June brides to-day! The love bug has been working overtime and has broken all records. Three thousand three hundred June brides! That means 110 brides a day or one every 13 minutes! Hymen, Cupid & Co. report the most prosperous month since the firm was established. Last year there were 3,103 June brides; in 1905, 2.907; 1904, the record was 2.758. Marriage License Clerk Salmonson, the man who has opened the door of wedded happiness to hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Chicagoans and others, preached a little lay sermon the other day for June brides. These are the points on which he laid stress: 1. Love your husband always. 2. Be his companion, his friend, his chum. 3. Never, never be suspicious or 4. Study his tastes and give him what he likes. 5. Set up and cook his breakfast for him. 6. Make his home as attractive for him as you can—as attractive as club or the saloon. PLAGUE SWEPT INDIA. In Ten Years There Have Been 4,411, 212 Deaths—Mortality Increasing. London.—During the first three and a half months of 1907 the deaths from the plague in India totalled 104,000 the heaviest monthly mortality yet reported during the epidemic. According to the Indian World this would appear to show that the present year will exhibit a record number of deaths. The plague records for the ten years October, 1896, to December, 1906, show that there was a large annual increase from 1901 to 1904, the deaths numbering 274,000 in 1901, 577,000 in 1902, 570,000 in 1903 and 1,022,000 in 1904, the worst year in ten years. There was a small decrease in 1905, the deaths falling to 951,000, and a large decrease in 1906, when there were only 332,000. The total deaths for the whole ten years numbered 4,411,212. The improvement which was shown in the two years 1903 and 1906 has not, unfortunately, been maintained. From the first appearance of the disease up to the year 1901 the mortality was greatest in the Bombay presidency, but from 1902 onward with one exception, the worst area has been the Punjab, and in 1905 the deaths in the latter province alone numbered 364,625.

Washington - Vice Consul General William Smith Lyte, of Constantinople, furnishes a translation of a report made by the French chamber of commerce touching on a new method of operations of some sharpers established in Turkey, who exist at the expense of the manufacturers and merchants of Europe. Their method of procedure is as follows: They commence by asking for prices and terms of certain articles. The firms thus addressed reply without making inquiries about the standing of their new correspondents, which would be the most practical thing to do. As soon as the manufacturer's reply reaches the sharper he immediately gives an order of a certain importance without discussing prices or attempting to obtain an extra discount. This liberality, in an epoch when competition is so keen, ought certainly to give the firm chosen as a victim cause for reflection. But the latter, on the contrary, happy to find so easy a purchaser, does not show the least anxiety. To cover the amount of the invoice—for a first transaction one always pays cash—the swindler sends a draft or a check generally on London, bearing several signatures, including generally one of a bank (quasi), a document of presumably first-class value The shipment is made immediately. No sooner does the merchandise reach Constantinople than it is realized upon and the trick is played. It is unnecessary to explain that the draft or check and all signatures are fictitious. The seller generally finds this out when too late. Washington.—The of federal pure food for to add still further, to living in American homes the increase will be can mated thus far.

London.—In the third week in June, following a custom established over a thousand years ago, Hindus by tens of thousands flocked to Pourl, in Orisso, India, for the religious Festival of Juggernaut. From the temple the famous Car of Juggernaut was brought forth and dragged through the streets. It headed the annual procession of devotees of the god Vishnu, or Juggernaut, Lord of the Universe, whose image, or statue, without legs and with stumps of arms, rests within the colossal car. Hundreds of pilgrims harness themselves to the stout cables by which the car is drawn. As they pull the ponderous car on its clumsy wheels many work themselves up to a degree of religious fear little short of mad- A Famous Car of Juggernaut. ness. And fanatics attempt to throw themselves to destruction under the murderous wheels, as a voluntary sacrifice to their idol. British civil officers prevent any act of suicide. Pindus believe that to gain the favor of an invariant opens for them the gates of heaven. Therefore, in the days before the British occupation of India, natives occasionally cast their bodies under the car to be crushed to a pulp, the belief being that self-immolation thus would be speedily rewarded by entrance into Paradise. The car is 43 feet high. Its wheels are each more than six feet high. A wooden cage around the top, an addition of recent years, keeps fanatics from jumping upon their idol within. Body and wheels are of wood beautifully sculptured and inlaid, and for the festival the car is draped with gold cloth. STRIKING SOLDIER STATUE. Mr. Newman's Fine Work for New York Building at Jamestown. New York.—When recounting how he got his inspiration for his "Spanish War Veteran," a statue executed for the rotunda of the New York state building in the Jamestown exposition, Mr. Allen G. Newman relates an amusing experience he had at West Point, and which formed a determining factor in his choice of a model. He went up to West Point while looking for material for a soldier's monument. "Out on the parade ground," says Mr Newman, "was a company of artillery. They drilled as well as cadets, but on account of the uniform I asked a regular who passed if they were cadets or regulars. "He answered with pride, 'No. Dose arn't cadets. Dose are sogers.'" M. K. K. Statue of Spanish War Soldier. Mr. Newman was born in New York city in 1875. In 1897 he entered the studio of Mr. J. Q. A. Ward to study and work under that sculptor for the next three years, a favor which the "dean of the profession" has extended to but few. The student's most lasting impression from his experience was a desire to keep as close as possible to nature in his work and to develop simplicity of expression. After this he modeled as assistant to several sculptors, finding this an excellent school, affording him opportunity to see and study how different men work. The "Spanish War Veteran" has a quality that is very valuable in sculpture subjects of this kind—repose, which yet suggests ample capacity for action. Ever Notice It!

Will Be Built by Railroad Over Hell Gate. New York.—Another step in the progress of the Pennsylvania railroad's New York tunnel extension was taken recently when plans for the East river brige of the New York connecting railroad were submitted to the municipal art commission for its approval. This bridge will form part of a steel viaduct more than three miles long, connecting the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad system in the Bronx with the Long Island and the Pennsylvania. It will be the longest and heaviest steel bridge in the world. Eighty thousand tons of steel will be used in its construction. It will carry four railroad tracks imbedded in stone ballast so as to render the structure noiseless. When it is completed New York will enjoy for the first time a through all-rail route between New England and the south and west. Plans for the bridge over the waters of the Hell gate show a steel arch span of 1,000 feet between abutments. These abutments are stone towers dividing the arch bridge proper from the steel viaducts that form approaches to it. The towers will rise to a height of 200 feet and will contain rooms needed for railroad operation. The tracks themselves will be 140 feet above the water. Besides planning a bridge of ample strength the company has endeavored to make it a thing of beauty, an architectural creation. Baden's Physique on Wane. Berlin.—Curlous statistics were gleaned in southern Baden in the recent enrollment of recruits. In the Lindau and Alligan districts out of 604 young men liable to service only 20 were found to be up to the physical standard of the military authorities. The peasantry of those districts were at one time among the most robust in the empire, but owing to the dearness of meat and milk their physique has sunk to a dangerously low level. Their principal food for years has been potatoes and skimmed milk. 0 Columbia Ice and Coal Co. FILE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS; AND WF WILL DO THE REST. ORDERS PROMPTLY FILL-ED.

The verdict in the Haywood case that has just been rendered in Idaho is one of the most important events that has ever occurred in the labor movement in the world. It is to the present condition, or wage slavery, what the Dred Scott decision was to chatel slavery, that is, it marks one of the great turning points in the struggle for freedom. Although the fight was ostensibly made by the State against Haywood as an individual, it was in reality a battle of capitalism against union labor, waged through the State officials against the Western Federation of Miners through Haywood as its secretary and Moyer its president. This fact was clearly brought out by the evidence that was introduced by both parties and by the means that were apparently employed by the prosecution to secure a packed jury by carefully excluding all wakeworkers from the venire. The capitalists of the world recognize in the Socialist party a movement that means what abolitionism meant to slavery—"no compromise" and, therefore, they are making the fight of their lives to try and crush it before it becomes big enough to crush them. They know that so long as they can keep possession of the means of production and transportation of wealth they can receive their interest,rents or dividends, even though they may be somewhat reduced by government control or regulation, yet that is better than nothing at all, as will be the condition under Socialism. A few years ago the Western Federation of Miners declared in favor of Socialism, and ever since then the mine owners have been trying harder than ever to destroy the organization, and the death of Steunenberg gave them an opportunity to try to do so by arresting the chief officials on the charge of conspiracy to murder. In order to get possession of the accused resort was had by State officials to kidnapping upon perjured affidavits, and the men were seized at their homes late on Saturday night and rushed into another State without opportunity for them to defend themselves by resort to the courts, as is guaranteed to every citizen. Appeal was taken to the United States Supreme Court, but it turned a deaf ear to the plea and refused to give the men their rights in a decision that legalized kidnapping. To further add to the barriers around the apparently doomed men, President Roosevelt, in his speech at the laying of the cornerstone of the office building of the House of Representatives, on April 14, 1906, referred to the men as being "implicated in murder," which he tried to deny subsequently when he referred to them and others as "undesirable citizens." This attracted universal attention to the case and gave to the trial a worldwide interest. With the laborers constantly demanding more and more of the wealth which they produce, and the capitalists striving to secure larger and larger profits from their employees, it is only a question of time until there must be a clash. In Idaho the two forces have been drawn into actual conflict for a longer time and to a greater extent than in any part of the country, and the Haywood trial has been the result. Each side to the conflict has marshaled its forces and struck its mightiest blow, with the result that labor has come off victorious. From this time forward union labor will become more and more aggressive, and it will enter more vigorously into the political field; but it will espouse the cause of Socialism instead of supporting either of the two old parties, for it is being rapidly schooled by the thousands of tons of Socialistic literature that are being spread over the country that, so far as the real interests of the laborer are concerned, neither one of the old parties can benefit him and the capitalist at the same time. Now that Haywood has been released and Moyer and Pettibone soon will be, they will go forth preaching Socialism to thousands who will go to hear them who could not have been induced to have listened to the subject before the trial. This must necessarily result in the conversion of many, and thus the efforts of the capitalists to crush the movement by securing the conviction of the three men will only act as a boomerang and injure their own cause. Heretofore the real struggle has been concealed as much as possible, but from this time forward the fight must take place more and more in the open. LAXITY OF THE PULPIT. The pulpit as well as the press may teach lessons that will benefit the colored Americans. The colored Americans are complaining of "Jim Crow" cars and other "Jim Crow" discriminations, but who is to blame? For some time The Bee has thought of a remedy that may, to some extent, eliminate "Jim Crow" and other racial discriminations: In the first place, there is a laxity of the pulpit. The pulpit is in a position to teach the congregation many things that are practical in street cars and other public conveyances. The pulpit is in a position to teach its congregation, or those who belong to the laboring classes, such as working in pits, sewers, etc., when they leave their work and take the cars, not to monopolize front seats or places where persons sit with their clean clothing, but take seats in the extreme rear. The pulpit should teach those who cook and are compelled to mix in grease and smoke not to leave their employment without first having taken a bath, so that when they board a car they will be clean, smell clean, and present a clean and tidy appearance. The colored citizen will not then be objectionable to those with whom he comes in contact. It is an easy matter to keep clean; it is an easy matter to smell sweet by using plenty of soap and water, and some other ingredints if necessary. The pulpit should instruct its congregation not to be boisterous on the street cars coming from picnics and excursions. It is distasteful to see young men seated in a car with their arms around young ladies' waists or shoulders. It looks vulgar. Loud laughing on the street cars should be avoided. If the pulpit would teach good morals instead of begging for money continually to build a new church or to send its pastor abroad, what a revolution there would be in the community. It is not believed that the opposite race will oppose the colored Americans or is that race opposed to colored Americans on account of color. The Bee doesn't say that these objections obtain entirely in the colored race, but it does say that the prejudice and discrimination against the colored American would be very much eliminated if colored Americans or those who are compelled to do menial work would present good appearance and cleanliness upon street cars. The pul- pit, therefore, is in a position to aid in this reformation. The cook, the well-digger, the chambermaid and street sweeper and all others are citizens of this republic, and while that is a fact the laws of nature as well as the laws of the land demand that they keep themselves clean, orderly and obedient. Let the pulpit preach this doctrine, let the teachers in the public schools instill this into the minds of their pupils. It will not be long before the colored Americans are respected, but accepted as good and appreciable citizens. DR. WASHINGTON AT JAMESTOWN. The address of Dr. Booker T. Washington at Jamestown, Va.,last Saturday afternoon, on the occasion of the Negro Day, was a masterpiece of oratory. His address was full of common sense, and was manly and eloquent. His utterances were logical, pointed and forceful. Certainly no one can take exception to this address. If his speech is accepted in the same manner it was delivered, the race should certainly be benefited. Dr. Washington continues to have hopes in the South. He continues to believe that both races will be able to live together in harmony and happiness. The Bee sympathizes with his struggles and his labor to uplift his people. The Bee is free to admit that Dr. Washington's opposition, from the representatives of his race, has been caused by the pigmies which surround him. He has made the mistake of having narrow, contracted advisers, men who are selfish, mean and deceitful. These pigmies have misrepresented men to him, men who are able to advise him correctly and judiciously. The grafters have been holding out their hands, ready and willing to devour him and only follow him because they hope to be rewarded financially and with an office. Perhaps he will, if he has not already realized the absolute necessity in having about him men of influence and standing. The demagogues who have followed him for years can only be found when their pockets are low or empty. "Let me have men about that are fit. There is Cassius; he has a lean and-hungry look," remarked Caesar, when a conspiracy was about to be instigated against him. The Bee believes that Dr.Washington has a good heart. He means well; but these hungry conspirators have been hanging around him, not willing to devour or destroy him, but those who would be of service to him. The Bee would advise him to shake off these tadpoles and leeches and have around him as his advisers men-not the trimmer, not the apologist, but men who have principles and the representatives of principles and manhood rights. The Bee this week prints a few excerpts of his speech which it desires the readers of The Bee to digest. LIBERIA HIS HOME? The world was no more made for Caesar than it is for the white man. The colored Americans have as much right to remain in this country as the white man. From the dust of the earth God made all mankind, and to dust shall he return. Why, then, can't the colored Americans remain upon this soil as much as the white man? Of what great crime has the colored American been found guilty? It is a shame the manner in which he is treated. But, why should he lament? The darkest hour is just before the dawn of day. The colored Americans will one of these days demonstrate to the world his capacity and, ability to rule. He will not continually be the "hewer of wood and the drawer of water." Whatever his weaknesses are, they will so vanish. All he wants is an opportunity. That will come sooner or later. He must strike if he would be free. Liberia is no more the home for the colored man than America. Let those go who want to go. America is good enough for Bee. There can be seen in and around the Police Court daily loafers who are no more than vagrants. Judge Kimball some time ago found one of them guilty of vagrancy and sentenced him to the workhouse for six months or give bonds in the sum of five hundred dollars. There are others who continue to loaf in and around the Police Court who have no visible means of support who should be sent down on the farm to work. This class of individuals is a menace to society. The color of a man's skin should not be a bar for his arrest, no matter if he has been at one time connected with the department of the local government. Loafers are loafers, be they white or black, and they should be made to work. The"cappers" on the outside have been forced to leave, but it continues on the inside, unbeknown to the court. A great deal of it is practiced in the station houses, which is another violation of Major Sylvester's order, AUDITOR TYLER COMMENDED. Editor The Bee: Your mention of the democratic act of Hon. R. W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department, in visiting in an unassumed manner one of the humble charitable institutions of this city, and manifesting an interest in the institution, and the favorable comment you made thereon, were indeed timely. From the most reliable sources comes the information that Mr. Tyler has employed the most modern business methods in the conduct of the affairs of his office. He demands the fullest performance of duty assigned, yet with courtesy he treats all of his subordinates alike, irrespective of color or condition. All say he fills the official bill. Another pleasing comment appeared in your paper recently. It was the splendid tribute paid ex-Governor George W. Atkinson, of West Virginia, now Judge of the United States Court of Claims. The judge stands for all the noble things you mentioned, and more As he is a graduate of my alma mater. Howard University Law School, any expression of praise for him I attribute to his splendid ability and appropriate it to my pleasure. Any person connected with the great Howard nUiversity, or has been connected with it in any way, whether as manager, instructor or student, is held in the highest esteem by me. If the head of Howard University is not a man of God and in the control of righteousness there is small hope for the masses. Mr. Editor, an able young man explained to me not long ago his reasons for admiring you. He says, if you are a friend to an individual you are loyal. not, however, overlooking faults; and if you oppose one you can be found at a moss-covered stand with goods the price of which is plainly marked—an enviable and rare characteristic, which is not easy of acquisition. E. A. Patton, 1731 Twelfth street northwest. Continued from 1st page. as we have had. We have every reason to feel proud of the success that has been made in the solution of this problem. The Races Mutually Dependent. "Each race is dependent upon the other, for example: In the average white family of the South you will find that the white child spends a large proportion of his life in the arms or in the company of a Negro woman or of a Negro girl. During the years when that child is most impressionable, when he is at a point where impressions are perhaps most lasting, that child is in the company of this black woman or this black girl. My friends, it is mighty important, in my opinion, for the civilization, for the happiness, for the health of the Southern white people that that colored nurse shall be intelligent, that she shall be clean, that she shall be morally fit to come in contact with that pure and innocent child. "In nine-tenths of our Southern communities there is peace and harmony, good will and friendship; but when one goes outside of the Southern States, when one goes into the North, into Europe as I have done, and reads the dispatches that come from the South, it is always one thing—lynchings. These people naturally get the idea, other people get the idea through this unusual punishment, that we are living in a state of turmoil, at daggers points, throughout the South; whereas, as a matter of fact, as you go through the average Southern community, you will find a feeling of mutual confidence, a feeling of friendship existing between the races—each race interested in the progress of the other. And for that reason alone if for no other higher consideration, I believe we owe it to ourselves to bring about such a public sentiment as will get rid of this unusual and barbarous method of pnuishing criminals. How to Solve the Race Problem. "If you want to know how to solve the race problem, place your hands upon your hearts and then, with a prayer to God, ask Him how you today, were you placed in the position that the black man now occupies, how you would desire the white man to treat you, and whenever you have answered that question in the sight of God and man, this problem in a large degree will have been solved." "The two races are going to be friends and not enemies. The white man in America cannot afford to be unjust to the Negro. Every act of injustice will remain to weaken further generations. Every law so administered to mean one thing for a black man and another thing when applied to a white man means the moral degradation to the individual who enforces such law. The Negro was invited to come here and here he will stay. The white man cannot hold us down in the ditch without remaining there himself. In Christian conduct resides a happy issue out of all our afflictions. Let Us Not Be Discouraged. "Finally, above all things, we should not be discouraged as a race. No man discouraged ever wins a victory. There is more in our favor than there is against us. We have magnificent opportunity to teach the world how by patience, courage and work we can overcome difficulties and secure and maintain our rightful place as useful citizens." Afterthoughts. Visitors were particularly impressed with Dr. A. M. Curtis' neat and finely-equipped emergency hospital, which skillfully cared for many patients during the day under the supervision of Dr. James F. Lawson. The Executive Committee is concerned that the reports the visitors will carry home will bring other crowds of similar proportions. The Negro Building "looked good' to the throng that crowded through from the opening of the doors until their close. President Harry St. George Tucker made himself solid by his felicious address. When leaving to address the "Gridiron Club" he wittily reminded his colored friends that, much as he appreciated their company, they were "not the only pebbles on the beach." Dr. Washington's apt anecdotes kept the crowd in such a good humor they forgot the heated rays of the August sun. The Jamestown speech in quality outranked the famous Atlanta effort, "Pichmond Day," August 14. Come! The patriotic audience stood while the "Star-Spangled Banner" was being sung Mrs. Curtis, the accomplished hostess, had a genial smile for everybody. The face of Dr. J. G. Merrill, president of Fisk University, wore a "delighted" expression throughout. W. E. Hope's handsome souvenir magazine, "The Bulletin," went like hot cakes. A. C. Howard's shoe polish booth was the cynosure of all eyes. A one-minute instantaneous shine was applied to Dr. Washington's shoes by Mr. Howard's hustling young assistant, Mason Ashe. If any "came to scoff" they were impelled to "remain to pray." Clarence Cameron White's rich and varied array of musical productions by Negroes was an unique feature entirely new to our expositions. Wilberforce showed up well as a result of Prof. C. N. Johnson's strenuous efforts. Many rare books written by Negroes, some in the original manuscript and others touching the history of Negroes, are embraced in the fine collection gathered by Mr. Daniel Murray, assistant librarian of Congress. The restaurants and concessions on the Negro Reservation had their hands full of business and dollars—and their attractions on the "War Path" had the biggest day of the season. Dr. A. M. Curtis put in some effective work for "Physicians' Day," August 30, when the National Medical Association comes down from the Baltimore session in a body. Chairman Calloway proved himself to be an offhand orator of no mean ability in his statement of the committee's labors and resources and happy introduction of the "Wizard." It was literally a national convocation.

Allen, of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., were tendered an elegant reception, complimentary to their recent marriage, by Prof. S. G. Murray and wife at their beautiful suburban residence in East Dunklin street. This reception assumed somewhat the form of a garden party, and the lawn was illuminated by Japanese lanterns, whose mellow glow, combined with the pretty evening costumes of the ladies, produced a most pleasing effect. The dress worn by Mrs. Allen was of pink flowered silk mull, trimmed with narrow pink velvet and lace. The parlors and dining room were beautifully decorated with palms and ferns. The color scheme being pink and white, the table was decorated with pink and white carnations and illuminated by candles with pink shades; the centerpiece was of dainty Mexican drawn work, plate and tumbler covers of the same. $ ^{14} $ 2 Mrs. Murray was highly complimented by all present for the artistic arrangement and beautiful appearance of everything.

On July 16, 1907, the marriage of Mrs. Mary E. Jones and Mr Archibald I. Billows was solemnized by the Rev. J. M. Townsend of the A. M. E. Church at Pittsburg. It may perhaps interest the host of friends which Mrs. Jones has here in the city to read the following clipping from a Pittsburg paper: "Archibald I. Billows, of 22 Overhill street, the well-known Union Station barber, was the next of a long list of persons to appear before Clerk Watson for a marriage license. His flowing white beard looked out of place when he stepped up and said: 'I guess you don't gnd them as young as I very often do you?' 'Yes, occasionally,' answered the clerk. "Mr. Billows and his bride-to-be,Mrs. Mary E. Jones, signed the application and then gave the facts necessary to get a license. Mr Billows said he was seventy-two years old, and had been married before. Mrs. Jones has been a resident of Washington, D. C., and confessed to the age of sixty-nine years. She was also married once before... "As though Cupid were trying to show what power he wields over the human heart, the next couple which was brought to the desk was in sharp contrast to Mr. Billows and Mrs. Jones. "Miss Mary E. Tilghman, one of Washington's successful school teachers, was married during the past week to a gentleman from Pittsburg. Her future home will be in Pittsburg. This follows closely the wedding of Miss Beason, who received an unusual number of wedding presents when she was married a short while ago. West Washington is being heard from." ROBERT RHEIMS, ESQ, ENTER- TAINED. Mr. Robert Rheims, formerly of the city of Boston, Mass, now a citizen of British Columbia, who is revisiting Washington after an absence of twenty-nine years, was entertained by Judge E. M. Hewlett, Prof. P. N. Bailey and Dr. Hamilton S. Smith, all dear old friends of early manhood days in Boston. They started about 9 a.m. on Sunday, August 4, behind the spirited steed belonging to Judge Hewlett, and after a drive through Rock Creek Park and the northwest esction of Washington, arrived at the Northwest Cafe, owned and conducted by the genial and capable Wythe W. Martin, where was prepared a feast fit for the gods. After spending a couple of hours talking over the events of earlier days in Beston, they went to the house of Dr. Smith, spending some time in feasting and talking over the past. It is seldom that four persons, who were as intimate in their younger days, and whose families were as one, meet in a city other than their home city after a lapse of twenty-nine years. They realized that a repetition of this was not likely to occur, and were determined to get all they possibly could out of it. They parted about five o'clock, and with choked voices attempted to sing Auld Lang Syne, and each one of the four voted the other a jolly good fellow. --- A very pretty wedding took place at the residence of Mrs. Helen A. Henderson, 473 Florida avenue northwest, on Wednesday evening, July 31. The contracting parties were Mr. Joseph Carter and Miss Bertha Jackson, the bride being a niece of Mrs. Henderson. Long before the hour for the marriage the house was comfortably filled with friends and associates of the bride and groom, together with a large number of friends and associates of Mrs. Henderson. The marriage ceremony was a very pretty one, and was performed by the Rev. Father Olds, of St. Augustine Church, of which the bride is a member. The bride carried a bouquet of beautiful white roses, and wore white organdie trimmed with baby silk. Mr. Forrest Carroll was groomsman, while Miss Mabel Coleman acted as bridesmaid. After the ceremony the bride and groom received many congratulations. The guests were served with light refreshments, which were in abundance. Those present were the following: Mrs. Janie Harris, Mrs. Judson Malvin, Mrs. Sia Mason, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Neil, Mr. and Mrs. McDaniel, Mrs. Dabney, Mrs. Lydia Jackson, Mrs. Pettiford, Mrs. Parris Lyons, Mrs. Watson, Mrs. Kennedy, Mr. and Mrs. Overton, Mrs. Filmore, Dr. William Tignor, Mr. Henry Tignor, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Jones' Mr. Peter Scott, and many others.

Plantevigne, of St. Joseph Seminary, Baltimore, Md., was in the city last Sunday, the guest of Misses Florence and Alice Williams, of 1508 Pierce Place northwest. This distinguished young man will be ordained a priest in December, with twenty young white priests. He was entertained by Messrs. Butler, Dent and Gillem and the Misses Williams. Rt. Rev. J. W. Smith, A.M., D.D., will preach at Galbraith Church, Sunday at 11 a.m. Bishop Smith is one of the ablest preachers in the country, and the people of Washington will do well to hear him. Dr. Corrothers, pastor of above church, says he is one of the best writers in the country, white or black. Bishop Smiths' elevation to the bench has proven a great blessing to the whole Church, and if Bishop G. W. Clinton is transferred to another diocese a very strong effort will be made to bring Bishop Smith to preside over the Washington diocese. Bishop Smith is a warm friend of Dr. Corrothers. The two men are much alike. Both are independent, brave and fearless in the performance of their duties. Bishop Smith, by his kind and fair treatment of his ministers, has gained their confidence and love. If the continues to grow it is believed that he will become one of the leading Negro bishops in America. There will be a vacation rally at Galbraith Sunday. The pastor, Dr. Corrothers will be away for some time. This will be a good time for the members and friends to contribute to a man that has stood for all that is right and best in our Christian civilization, a blessing to the Church and the race.

C. ONE MAN'S TROUBLES HE IS A MEMBER OF THE NAVY YARD BAND. Fred Beversee, Trombone Player, Ordered to Pay $36 a Month Allmony When He Makes but $32. New York.—Frederick Beversee who plays the trombone in the navy yard band, is trying to figure out a plan by which he can pay his wife $36 a month allmony out of a total income of $32 a month. All the maticians in the navy yard and in lawyer's office have failed to get any satisfactory answer to this hard problem, but Beversee must have an answer. If Beversee doesn't pay his wife $$$ a month more than he earns he will be in contempt of court and some hard-hearted judge may lock him up in a little room so small he will not be able to slide his trombone. Beversee has been ordered to appear in special term over in New York county and explain why he has failed to pay the $36 a month for the last two months, and also to explain why he shouldn't be adjudged in contempt of court and locked up in some hot fall for the summer. Lawyer George Hiram Mann, who has a big practice among the people attached to the navy, will be in court to help Beversee explain, and, also to make the court see the injustice of demanding allmony in greater amount than Beversee can earn. Beversee is able to prove that his present cash income is only $32 a month, which he gets from the government for playing the trombone twice a day. In addition to this he gets a place to sleep and a daily ration. Some of Beversee's friends have suggested that he raise the extra four dollars by selling his ration; but that would leave him without anything to eat, and, besides, he might run up against some hard regulation against disposing of a ration allowance. Beversee's wife is suing him for separation. The two lived together quite happily until two or three years ago. They have been living apart for a year. Their son, who is a seaman 19 years old, made an affidavit a year ago, in which he took sides with his mother, and alleges that his papa was a very bad man in his treatment of Mrs. Beversee. Now, Mr. Mann is armed with a new affidavit from young Beversee which tells of the splendid qualities of his father, with whom he is now stopping. In his new affidavit young Beversee throws some light on the effect of beer and hot weather upon affidavit making: in fact, he makes it appear that the combination of lager and high temperature caused him to make the former affidavit. He says that after drinking beer all day in hot weather his mothear induced him to go with her to her lawyer's office in the Pulitzer building and swear to allegations which he now declares to be untrue. After Mrs. Beversee's suit had got under way the court ordered her husband to pay her $36 a month. Beversee was able to pay the amount at that time, as he was playing at night with a big uptown orchestra in addition to his employment in the Navy Yard band. He is a musician of high class, and he says that he would be able to get employment outside now but for the meddling of his wife. He paid the $36 a month up to eight weeks ago, when he found it impossible to pay that amount out of his navy pay. FREE HOSPITAL FOR HORSES. New York Society Will Found Dispensary for Them. New York.—Plans for the establishment of a veterinary dispensary and hospital for horses whose owners cannot afford to give them proper treatment, have been determined by the board of managers of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Horses of cab drivers, peddlers and poor owners will be entitled to treatment at the dispensary for a nominal fee or free if circumstances warrant. Beyond the relief which the handling by expert veterinarians of hundreds of cases of brute suffering will afford, it is believed the educational effect will prove valuable. Instruction in the prevention of disease in proper feeding, harnessing and general care will be given to all who care to attend the clinics. Nurse Elopes with Un Wing. Easton, Pa.-Katie Sourwine, 16 years old, ran away with Un Wing, a Chinaman about 35 years of age, and went to New York city to get married. The Chinaman conducted a laundry in this city and boarded with his brother, who runs a Chinese restaurant, where he became acquainted with the girl, a frequenter of the place. The girl was employed as a child's nurse, and the first intimation her mother had of the affair was shortly before her daughter departed, when she hurried to the Lehigh Valley station and arrived-just as the train was pulling-just Akron, O.—A horse owned by J. H. Sell, of Loyal Oak, committed suicide by plunging from the door of a big bank barn to a pile of rocks 20 feet beneath. For years the horse was trained with another which died severl rocks ago, and he had acted queer since. Iowa Graduate Appointed Director of Agriculture for Country. Ames, Ia.—With a "farm diploma" in his pocket, A. E. Parr has just left the Iowa State Agricultural college here to accept appointment by the British government as director of agriculture and animal husbandry in British India, with headquarters at Calcutta. For its education in agricultural lines Mr. Parr is to be paid a salary of $10,000 a year for ten years and then he will draw a pension for life of $5,000 a year. His position will require the best. Under his supervision will be 39 experiment stations and he will be expected to advance his new field notably in soil products. The selection of Mr. Parr from this year's class is perhaps the most conspicuous honor which has come to the institution during the year, but yet graduates from Ames are being sought by every state in the union and by several foreign states. Some of the young men have already made their plans to serve at the head of departments in state agricultural colleges or to take charge of experiment stations, which are becoming so important in the activities of the states Iowa leads in excellence of training in animal husbandry and soil culture, and it is the "good seed" and "good breed" gospel which this institution is preaching throughout the state, by means of special train jaunts and visits to farmers' institutes, that is keeping Iowa in the front rank of food producers. Mr. Parr has left for England, where he will visit his parents before taking up his work in British India. His father is a leading farmer in Ashley, Staffordshire, England. VIKINGS EVER IN MINNESOTA? Finding of Ancient Anchor Thought to Be Proof of Presence. Crookston, Minn.—Photographs have been taken of the ancient Norse anchor found on the state experiment farm the other day, and copies of these will be sent to the Swedish and Norwegian governments in the hope of ascertaining the true historical value of the discovery. The anchor itself will be sent either to the Smithsonian institution or some museum, and efforts will be made to connect it with the supposed visit of the Norsemen to the continent of North America centuries before the discovery by Columbus. According to tradition, Lief Erikson left a party of 60 men when he touched on the North American coast, and it is possible that this anchor is a relic of that little band, of whom nothing ever was heard afterward. The anchor is light, weighing not more than 30 pounds. It consists of a rather heavy cylindrical center piece and from sockets on either-side proongs project, the proongs swinging on iron pins through the center of the cylinder. From the nature of the stratum of clay in which the anchor was found it is certain that the earth had not been disturbed for centuries, as the clay was not mixed with the least particle of black dirt. The depth at which the anchor was found and the fact that it was imbedded in solid clay probably accounts for its good state of preservation. Efforts are being made to discover other evidence of the Norsemen's presence in this part of the country. BATHE WITH TEDDY BEAR8. Girls Hug Fuzzy Toys on Their Way to the Beach. Atlantic City, N. J.—Many visitors, who supposed that the teddy bear craze had reached its limit with carrying the attractive toy animals as honored companions on Boardwalk parade and automobile run, received a surprise when girls carried monsters of the fuzzy bear family down to the beach for baths. Without a moment's hesitation the daring young women waded out into the surf, lugging their pets and followed by curious crowds. Mrs. S. S. Charles, of New York, claims the distinction of introducing the sad, which was followed by half a score of summer girls, who appeared to enjoy the sensation which they produced. One girl, who refused her name and carried off her charge in a hurry to dodge photographers, met with a mishap when a big wave toppled her and the bear over in the surf and disgusted lifeguards were compelled to "rescue" the bear to placate his excited mistress, who burst into tears when her treasure floated on top of a big breaker. $1 a Klss; Bride Gets $385. Treverton, Pa.—When Mrs. Andrew Lucaskow was led from the church into the home of her husband after her marriage one of the wedding guests proposed that each man kiss the bride and give one dollar apiece. The bride and husband agreed to the proposition and soon the young woman was overwhelmed with kisses. She eventually had $385 on the plate provided for the kiss fees. Robins Take to Sprinkler Allentown, Pa.—Taking the most logical course, in view of the rainy spring and summer, and getting where things could be no wetter, a pair of robins built a nest in a toy sprinkling can belonging to Leailla, daughter of William Frets, of Dillingserville. The sprinkling can had been left outside, near the porch, where the birds found it. WHOOPINGCOUGHFETE EVERYDODY THERE BARKED AND WORST LOT PRIZES. Pittsburg Kids and Their Wheezy Parents Bray at Lawn Party—Medicine Is Feature at Lunchoon. Pittsburg—Mr. V. H. Parker, of Grand View avenue, Dupasne Heights, named a whoooping cough lawn fete the other evening at her home in Honor of her son George, who is suffering from the disease. Over a score of his little friends attended, all of them similarly afflicted." This bona fide society note was sent to the newspapers here for publication. Pittsburg is suffering from an epidemic of whooping cough, and every child on Duquesne Heights has the disease and many of the papas and mamas of the children have it, too. The youngsters get tired remaining in the house, and as physicians declare that outdoor exercise is the best thing in the world for whooping cough, Mrs. Parker decided on the lawn fete. The party was a whooping success. Everyone present whooped, some of them until they were red in the face. To add zest to the affair, Mrs. Parker offered prizes to the boy or girl who whooped the longest and loudest and a booby prize for the one who only wheezed. There were many complaints when the prizes were awarded, and some of the unsuccessful ones claimed that the winners had an advantage over them, as they had had the disease longer. Lunch was served to the music of barking. With the lunch Mrs. Parker served a mild mixture of the medicine which every kid on Duquesne Heights has to take about every five minutes to keep from whooping his head off. It was only by the liberal use of the mixture that some of the youngsters could eat at all. Many of the little ones were accompanied by their mamas, who have contracted whooping cough from them, and the affair was such a big success that several of the mothers who attended are arranging to give return entertainments. STOESSEL SHOWN AS COWARD. Serious Charges Against Him and Brother Officers. Made Public. St. Petersburg.—A document containing the indictments against Lieut. Gen. Stoessel, the defender of Port Arthur; Lieut. Gen. Fock, who commanded the fourth east Siberian division at Port Arthur; Maj. Gen. Reiss, chief of staff to Gen. Stoessel, and Lieut. Gen. Smirnoff, who preceded Lieut. Gen. Stoessel in command at Port Arthur, was made public here today. These officers are being tried by court-martial on charges of cowardice and treason. The indictments set forth that Stoessel and Fock deliberately sent false reports of battles that never occurred, recommended their own friends and generals who had lost battles for decorations and surrendered Port Arthur fortress in spite of the fact that they had at hand ample means for resistance. All the crimes with which Stoessel, Reiss and Fock are charged are capital offenses. REFORM HAR8H CUSTOMS RULES. Treasury Officials Decide to End Humiliation of Travelers. Washington:—New customs inspection regulations, calculated to be a boon to returning American tourists, are being framed by direction of Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou. It is hoped to have the plan in operation August 15. There is to be no elimination of the requirement for the inspection of baggage, but the new rules will abrogate the oath that now precedes the formal inspection, and which puts the honest citizen in the position of a suspected perjurer until his word is proved true. It has been complained that this is an unnecessary and unjustifiable humiliation. Another reform will do away with the general penning up of all the smugglers, would-be smugglers and honest citizens before cynical customs officials. Man Had Two Appendices. Cumberland, Md., Dr. George L. Carder, assisted by Drs. Henry S. Walles and William B. Foard, has removed two well developed appendices from George Rickenberg, aged 26 years, of near Brunswick, Md. The operation was unusual from the fact that the man had two appendices. Both were diseased. The regular appendix was perforated in several places and the second appendix showed signs of decay. Dr. Carder has operated upon 649 cases of appendicitis, but he has never seen or heard of a case like this one. Rickenberg is on the way to recovery. "New Ciltlzens" Break Record. Washington.—All immigration records in the history of the country were broken by the aggregate returns for the fiscal year of 1907, which ended on June 30, last. The total number of alien immigrants landed in America during the year was 1,285,349, as against 1,100,735 during the fiscal year of 1906. The increase was about six per cent. over the greatest number of immigrants that ever arrived in America heretofore in a single year. F-737 DIAMONDS Put Your Money in Diamonds.

Cardiff, Wales.—The freaks of a so-called spectter are alarming a hamlet some forty miles from Cardiff. The ghost has been paying unwelcome attention to a well known inhabitant of the hamlet who was recently married. The trouble commenced by his finding himself lying on his bedroom floor beside his bed one morning. Naturally, he put this down to nightmare. The morning after, however, on awakening, he found himself at the end of the room, and he then became somewhat uneasy. His wife on both occasions had slept peacefully. The third night, however, both kept awake, and their vigil was rewarded by a sight of their mysterious visitor, who appeared shortly after the traditional hour of midnight. A trustworthy correspondent ascertained from the victim that the spirit took the form of his own mother, who is still alive and well. He says that his mother opposes his marriage with the lady of his choice very strongly, and he thinks that the nocturnal visits are acts of revenge. In order to drive forth the unwelcome intruder, the victim persuaded several of his male friends to remain in his house one night, but although the ghost appeared as usual to the young man, his wife, and his mother-in-law, the other watchers were quite unable to discern the strange presence. The young man's mother-in-law declares that on one occasion she approached the specter, who said, quite distinctly, "Well, what do you want?" She also says that she temporarily lost the power of the right side of her body at the meeting. The victim declares that the spirit has several times accompanied him part of the way to the village, where he is engaged as a collier. His comrades are greatly perturbed by the frequent appearance of the specter and believe firmly in the victim's veracity. The vicar of the parish and several others have visited the house and tried in vain to elucidate the mystery. OLDEST MAIL CARRIER RETIRES. James Delaney Tells How He Delivered Letters in Odd Handkershief. New York.—After being in the employ of the United States uninterruptedly for 50 years, James Delaney, said to be the oldest letter carrier in the country, retires from the service today. Acting Postmaster Morgan has sent Delaney a congratulatory letter for his splendid record and faithful service. Delaney, though he is 82 years old, is hale and hearty. In speaking of his long service he said: "At the time of my appointment there were only 35 carriers in the city delivering mail from the Battery to Twenty-seventh street. We received no regular pay. Outgoing mail was taxed three cents a letter and of this we received a penny and the government two cents. Incoming letters were two cents. This money was taken by the carriers to the superintendent and at the end of a month equally divided among the men. "We wore no uniforms, and Instead of a bag we carried our mail in a ringham handkerchief tied together with the four corners and carried over the arm." WAITED FOR WOMAN TO DRESS. Train Held While She Repaired Damage Due to Mishap. Paducah, Ky. "Delayed five minutes for a woman to dress," was the unusual report filed at the office of Superintendent W. V. Hills, of the Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis in explanation of a passenger train from the south. According to the conductor, a woman of ample proportions boarded the train at Benton and walked as far forward as she could get. At Oak Station she traversed the aisles toward the rear platform, but when in the middle of the last car her dress caught on a seat, there was a trip, a flash of white, and then she collapsed in the aisle. She had torn off necessary habiliments. The women in the car formed a protecting circle around her until the men, adjourned. Her station having been reached, the train had to be held while she dressed herself, repaired the damage with pins, and got off. --- Broken Leg Restores Mind. Broken Leg Restores Mind. Saleu, O.—The breaking of her left leg near the hip has had the queer effect of restoring her mind to Mrs. M. V. Howell, an aged resident of the city, who had been partially bereft of her reason for several years by reason of illness. Mr. Howell had taken his wife out each day for a drive, and had arranged an overhead track, from which she was suspended by straps to assist in getting her into the buggy. The straps broke the other day, and she fell. Since the accident she has been capable of conversing intelligently and seems to comprehend fully. Doctor and Dentist. The care of the teeth is a matter which is too often left entirely in the hands of the dentist, whereas the family practitioner, by judiciously pointing out the proper means of safeguarding the patient from infection through the mouth, is often in a position to forestall the necessity of a visit to the dentist—London Hospital. WHERE PEACE DELEGATES MEE The Rildderzaalz where the second Peace conference is being held, stands on the eastern side of the Binnenhof or Inner Court of the ancient official buildings of The Hague. The Binnenhof occupies the site of a palace built in 1250 by Count William of Holland. Within the court on May 13, 1619, John of Barneveld, Chancellor of Holland, was put to death by his rival, Prince Maurice. BELL UNDER THE SEA NOVEL WARNING TO SHIPS OF APPROACHING PERIL. Electricity Conveyed by Cable From the Shore Operates Mechanism Sound Travels Five or Ten Miles Through Water. Washington:A novel method to inform ship captains of the approach of their vessels to the danger zone has been perfected in connection with the use of the system of submarine bell, signals in places where the bell cannot be placed on a light ship or lighthouse. The electric bell is hung from a tripod set on the bottom of the sea at the edge of the shoal at the required point and this bell is struck by a mechanism operated by a current of electricity conveyed through a cable from the signal station on shore. Such a station at Point Allerton, Mass., and another at the entrance to Halifax harbor are operated with cables more than two miles long. The bell strikes any code 'that is desired and the sound travels through the water, so that vessels from five to ten miles away hear it, and get directions accurately in a fog or at night when equipped with a receiving apparatus. The lighthouse-board has made arrangements to place these submarine signals on all light ships not already so equipped, including the five vessels approaching completion at the yards of the New York Shipbuilding company and the four to be built at the Fore River yards at Quincy, Mass. The board also has arranged for electric shore stations at the Delaware harbor refuge and at Detroit, the entrance of St. Mary's river and Lake Superior. The Canadian government is installing such bells at St. Johns, Louisburg and Yarmouth, and when the work now ordered by the two governments is completed every important harbor in North America will be protected. JUDGE LINDSEY AIDS LAD. "Wanted to Get Ahead"—Gets Place Paying $2,000 a Year. Denver.—"I want to get ahead, so I came to work for you." Two years ago Judge Ben. B. Lindsey was interrupted at his work by a boyish voice. Looking up, he saw a youngster with a shock of bright red hair and mithful blue eyes. He was wearing knee pants and for a moment the judge wondered what the small fellow could do. The vermilion crown appealed to him. So Jay Bacon was kept in the juvenile court and given a chance to advance. First he was made a sort of messenger boy and "handy Andy" for everyone. He was given the dignified title of clerk, but the young man is authority for the statement that he frequently did many services beneath the dignity of his title. He had studded stenography at home with his stepfather, D. H. Colburn, who is one of the probation officers, and his first attempt at taking dictation from Judge Lindsey convinced the latter that his clerk could hold his own. Then Judge Lindsey was appointed judge of the new juvenile court. Under the statute creating the court he was to name a stenographer at a salary of $2,000 a year, almost as much as stenographers to district judges receive. The next promotion had come to Jay Bacon, for without considering any other applicant Judge Lindsey appointed him to the place. Brick Lost with Body In It. Pittsburg, Pa.—Friends of Herman Unger, the musician who committed suicide in Boston some time ago and who directed that his body be cremated and the ashes made into a brick, are much alarmed over the present whereabouts of the brick. It has disappeared and all efforts to locate it have been fruitless. The brick was shipped from Boston more than a week ago by the secretary of the Boston lodge of Odd to Morris Nosokoff, of this thearest friend of the dead man. Nosokoff has the priceless violins that Unger owned, but he was very anxious to secure the brick as well. GRENADES OF WAR OF 1812. Ordnance Found at Fort McHenry Is Over Century Old. Baltimore, Md.—While examining the contents of the ordnance storehouse at Fort McHenry, Lieut. J. I. Holcombe, of the One Hundred and Twenty-eighth coast artillery discovered several boxes of old hand grenades which are supposed to be more than 100 years old. The missiles are of the earliest make used by the United States government, and were probably placed at the historic old fort when it was first erected in 1812. Owing to the way in which they were packed the grenades had only the slightest trace of rust on them. The discovery of the weapons recalls a bit of the ancient history of the country. In explaining their use Lieut. Holcombe said that the grenades were handled only by the grenadiers of the ship, who, walking out upon the yardarms of the old-fashioned fighting vessels, throw them into the ranks of the enemy. An explosion followed which created havoc. They weigh about four pounds and are shaped after the fashion of the bombs used by anarchists, and are iron and loaded with gunpowder. Several days after the discovery one of the new recruits at the fort was found trying to dry the powder in one of the missiles bJ roasting it on the fire. A report was made to Lleut. Watson, in command of the post, who said that he intended to write to the authorities and ask permission to dump them in the middle of the Chesapeake bay, as they were so old-fashioned that they would be of practically no use whatever in modern warfare. BIG DOG ADOPTS CHICKENS. Five Orphan Chicks Are Cared For by Large Black Brute. Des-Moines, Ja.—Performing all the functions of a mother to five orphaned chickens, a large black dog is attaining wide notoriously on the east side. The chickens lost their mother in some unaccountable manner and five little screaming fowls made the neighborhood miserable with their piteous cries. The chickens belonged to M. Friedman on East Fifth street, where the dog also belongs. The chickens huddled together after losing their mother and during the night were taken in charge by the dog, who protected them from the chilly night alr. Now the dog has come into constant attendance on the five chickens and watches over them all day long. Ed Sunberg, constable of Lee township, hearing of the strange incident, went to investigate and tried to take one of the chickens out of the box where they had huddled around the dog. He received a bite on his hand as a reward for his attempt to molest the little chicks and the dog is now left severely alone with his little family. NO SLEEP FOR 25 YEARS. Man with Continual Grief Sits In Chair, Wide Awake. Erie, Pa.—Joseph Root, a hermit resident of Presque Isle peninsula, claims he has not slept in 25 years, and those who have become interested in the case believe his story. A number of well known physicians examined him. They say he is in a healthy condition and he was awake all the time they observed him. His close friends also vouch for his story. Drugs have been administered, but have no effect on Root. The man has lived for a long time on the peninsula and tells an interesting story. He says that about 25 years ago two dear relatives were killed suddenly in a railroad accident. He suffered so much from shock that he gave up the idea of sleep, and now remains in a chair all night with his eyes wide open. After his rest in the chair he feels as much refreshed in the morning as if he had enjoyed a good night's sleep. Doyle Will Hunt for Jewels. London.—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, anxious to justify his reputation as a real Sherlock Holmes, has offered his services to Sir Arthur Vicers, the Ulster king of arms, in unravelling the mystery of the loss of the jeweled insignia of the order of St. Patrick, which was recently stolen from Dublin. 8PANS SEAS TO JOIN CHILD, Deported Syrian Travels 33,€66 Miles for Daughter's Sake. North Adams, Mass.-To outwit the immigration authorites and join his eight-year-old daughter here, a Syrian who arrived in this city traveled over 33,666 miles, expended a small fortune in transportation, and consumed six months' time. The child was brought by her father to the city last winter. The girl found a home, but the father was deported, making the distance traveled when he again arrived at Beirut, Syria, 13,500 miles. He reembarked within a few days for Rio Janeiro, Brazil, 7,425 miles away. His intention was to enter the states at a Gulf port, not daring to trust himself again to the immigration officials of the larger eastern cities. While in Brazil he reached the conclusion that it would be better had he started originally for Canada. At the first opportunity he embarked on a vessel for Colon, whence he crossed the Isthmus of Panama. It required several weeks' waiting before he finally embarked on a sailing vessel for Victoria, B. C. He arrived early in May at British Columbia, he had added 8,400 miles to his itinerary. In June he journeyed from Victoria to Montreal, 3,291 miles. He then determined upon a final cast and headed for the United States. At this point he had no trouble in crossing the line from Canada and made 325 miles from Montreal to Boston. The night he arrived in that city he covered the final 100 odd miles still separating him and his little girl. TO ILLUMINATE NIAGARA FALLS. Mist and Water Will Flash All Colors of Rainbow at Night. Niagara Falls, N. Y.—The contract has been closed, for the night illumination of Niagara falls, and the proposed plan for lighting the mighty torrent will be the greatest feat ever conceived in electrical illumination. The falls will be illuminated for the first time August 15. The illuminating scheme calls for nearly 50 large searchlights, several of them the largest of their kind and capable of throwing a beam of light a hundred miles, and the new color seintillator, a late invention. The projectors will be located below the falls in two batteries, one at the water's edge and the other on the high ground of the Canadian side. Every inch of the two falls will be under light. The new color schittillator is an attachment fitted to the searchlights by which the beams of light can be made any color at will. Thus the mist and water bathed in all the colors of the rainbow, will surpass anything in spectacular effect save the great Northern Lights. The proposition is to illuminate Niagara on a scale in keeping with the surroundings. It is said by the illuminating experts that the rays of colored lights when flashed in the air will be visible at Rochester and Toronto. MOSQUITOES HOLD UP TRAIN. Millions of Pest Swarm Into Coaches Near Badgley, Ia. Des Molnes, Ia.—A swarm of mosquitoes, millions in number, literally stalled a Minnesota & St. Louis rail road train at Badgley the other night. For two hours the heavily loaded train was tied up by its flight with the pests and the 120 passengers were almost crazed before they escaped. The attack was made early in the evening, just as the train started to pull out of Badgley. Because of the hot weather the windows in the passenger coaches had been left open and the mosquitoes, driven from the marshes by the rain, swarmed into the cars, attacking the passengers. For a while the passengers attempted to fight the pests with handkerchiefs and hands, but as they increased in number and ferocity the conductor was finally appealed to and stopped the train. For two hours the train was stalled, while the passengers, driven from the coaches, built fires along the right of way, making dense smudge which afforded them a little relief. The smudge was then carried into the coaches and the mosquitoes finally driven out. Many of the passengers had hands and faces almost eaten raw by the attacks. Historic Flag Exhibited. Washington.—The historic national banner of stars and stripes, which inspired Francis Scott Key to compose "The Star Spangled Banner," and which floated over Fort McHenry, Chhesapeake bay, during its bombardment by the British on the night of September 13, 1514, has been placed on exhibition at the Smithsonian institution in this city. The flag is the property of Eben Appleton, of New York, who has loaned it to the government. The banner is 28 by 30 feet and will be draped on the wall in the hal, or history of the institution. Removes Animated Rock. York, Pa.—Seeing what he thought was a big rock in the middle of the street before daylight, Patrolman William Shenberger thought he would do drivers a kindness by removing it. As he reached down to selze it the supposed rock became a demon, which furiously clawed and bit his hand. The "rock" was a fine specimen of the great horned owl, almost two feet, in height; and the officer had grabbed *quickly about the neck, and now* its his pet IN OFFICE FOR 47 YEARS. Pennsylvania Postmaster Longest In Continuous Service. Wellsboro, Pa.—It is said of Danforth K. Marsh, of Gaines township, Tloga county, that in point of continuous service he is the oldest postmaster in the United States. The village of Marshfield, named after him, was made a post office in 1860, and Mr. Marsh was appointed by President Buchanan to take charge of the office. He has held the position continuously since, and is still discharging the duties with all of his old-time force-and vigor. Administrations have come and gone, presidents and policies faded, the great civil war waged, and the hate engendered by the strife forgotten and three presidents assassinated during Mr. Marsh's peaceful administration. The country has been en Kooman DANFORTH K. MARSH. (Pennsylvania Postmaster Who Has Been In Office 47 Years.) larged and developed, the telephone, arc and incandescent light, photograph and electric railway invented, and in the meantime, "far from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife he kept the noiseless tenor of his way," sorting the Marshfield mall and delivering the same to the patrons of the office and has been chief merchant of the village since 1867, when he established the first store there. In addition to being a man of the highest integrity, he is of keenest intelligence and has not allowed the times to get away from him by reason of his somewhat isolated location. He has kept fully abreast of them by omnivorous reading, and is one of the best informed men in the county. Mr. Marsh was born in Coleville, Broome county. N. Y., June 30, 1828. He attended school taught near his home by F W. Martin. Martin afterwards became sheriff of Broome county, on whom developed the task of hanging Ruloff, one of the most noted criminals of his time, a man with one of the greatest brains by actual weight that medical science records. Mr. Marsh has always had pride in his chitography, and that is pardonable. Even at the advanced age of 81 years he writes a bold, clean-cut, legible hand. He recalls with pleasure when a mere lad at school in the primitive days when the "master" wrote the copy for the class in writing, how, on the second day of the term of a new teacher, no copy was given him, and asking the reason, was told that he could write so much better than the "master" that no copy would be furnished them. Prior to attaining his majority, Mr. Marsh moved to Tloga county, where he lumbered in summer and taught in winter till on his birthday in 1851 he married Sarah C. Watrons. He was a delegate to the first Republican convention ever held in Tilga county, and has always affiliated with that party. He has run the gamut of township offices, and, with Capt. Phillips and Israel Stone, who was the father of ex-Gov. William A. Stone, served as county auditor in 1869. GARFIELD'S SON HEADS COLLEGE. Harry A Leaves Princeton to Take Presidency of Williams. Cleveland, O.—Harry A. Garfield, eldest son of the murdered president. Насомный HARRY A. GARFIELD. (Bon of Dead President Head of Williams College.) and brother of James A. Garfield, secretary of the department of commerce and labor, has just been elected to the presidency of Williams college, from which he himself was graduated in 1885.

WEST WASHINGTON NOTES. The many friends of Mr. Caleb Hawkins, 2724 P street, who has been confined with a lingering illness, will be gla dto learn of his improvement in health and were glad to see him at church on Sunday morning last. The Junior Choir of the First Baptist Church has rendered excellent music under the leadership of Prof.Charles Lane during the month of July. Rev. C. N. Pryor, their temporary pastor, has met with excellent success and eventually may be made permanent, being a graduate of Wayland Seminary and a scholar of unquestioned ability. Mrs. Jordan, of 2809 O street, who has been seriously ill for several months, is improving. Charges against several officers of the Seventh Precinct have been filed with the Police Department for an attempted assault and insulting the wife and daughter of Mr. James L. Turner, a highly respected citizen of West Washington. The occasion of the disturbance, it is said, was on account of some disorder having occurred on the evening of July 30, 1997, more than half a block from the residence of Mr. Turner, whose family had nothing to do with it and was in no way connected with it. When one of the officers, whose name is Sebastian, could not force the wife and daughter of Mr. Turner to give him information he became abusive and used profane language. Mr. Turner remonstrated with him, and he soon left, bringing two other officers, who threatened to club him. He informed them that he would file charges against them for the disorder created, which are now being investigated by Major Sylvester. CITY BRIEFS. Dr. George W. Cobiness, one of the leading and one of the most successful physicians in the city, has purchased one of the finest brick houses in the city. Dr. Cobiness is a man of extensive knowledge, he having traveled probably more than any physician in this city. Madame Davis, the colored clairvoyant, has the reputation of being, the most correct artist in her profession that the country has ever seen. If you want the truth told, give her a trial. Go and consult her. Hugo, I. T., August 1, 1907. Rev. W. A. Ray, D.D., who has been touring the State of Texas and the Indian Territory, will return to Washington in time to fill his pulpit at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, D street, August 11. Th public is invited. Mrs. Ray will accompany the Doctor bac kto Washington. Dr. Ray is highly pleased with his new station. THE MASONIC LEGAL STATUS OF THE COLORED MASONS OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUM. We were very much impressed with the publication that appeared in the Washington Times of July 22, 1907, relating to the fight between the Virginia Avenue Faction and the Nineteenth St. Faction, at one time designated the Jones and Seville Faction. It is an undeniable fact that the only legitimate branch of Masons among the Negroes of the United States is that of the Compack or Free and Accepted Ancient York Rite, instituted June 24, 1847, A.D., by Prince Hal Grand Lodge of Massachusetts, Independent African Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, and the Independent Harmony or Hiram Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania. (N. B.-Please observe dates, as we try not to talk through our hat-March 27, 1848) Social Lodge, No. 7; Universal, No. 2 (now under Virginia jurisdiction) and Felix, No. 17, working under the two Grand Lodges of Pennsylvania, but merged into the National Compack, met in Washington, D. C., in convention capacity and created or self-constituted the present Grand Lodge, which they now work under, at the same time returning the warrants or charts and taking out new ones from the Grand Lodge they have made, viz., March 27, 1848, nine months and three days after they assisted in the formation of the National Compack at Boston, Massachusetts, 1847, through their origin, the two Grand Lodges of Pennsylvania. Now for the legal status see Proceedings of the Grand Lodge of F. A. A. Masons (white) for 1899, page 9, which was approved by the Grand Lodge. According to their decision, why, one faction has as much right to exist as the other. If the courts should decide that the Virginia Avenue Factionn has the right of way, then the Virginia Avenue Faction can restrain the white Grand Lodge of the District of Columbia, which travels under the same name. Again, it will be against the concurrent opinions of the white Grand Lodges of the United States, viz, that there are no regular Masons of color in the nUnited States. The main reason that the F. A. A. A. Y. Masons, National Compack, are the only legitimate branch of the order in this country is as follows: First, when the National Grand Lodge was formed, in 1847, all Masonic authority was placed in its hands; second, when the faction that meets at Virginia avenue and Fifth street southeast, met, on March 27, 1848, in convention capacity and created the present Grand Lodge and took out their charters from the HOWARD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE.

B.—See their Constitution and Bylaws, revised and adopted, 1878; also Transactions and Constitution of Supreme Council for Thirty-third Degree, pages 119 to 121, inclusive.) We could write a book on this subject. In the long run, unless all parties cease firing, close up and reform ranks, the white craftsmen of the United States will take a hand in the game, and, like the Negro political problem, which has been eliminated in certain parts of the United States, the same rule will be followed in Masonry. The M. W. G. Lodge of Masons, S.E. can only blame their intelligent commission of the Past Grands for their able decision and recommendations upon a matter that did not concern them. All parties had better take due notice and be governed accordingly. There are lots running around Washington, D. C., with K. T. charms and Shriners buttons, etc., that know no more of Masonry than the fifth wheel of a wagon. We rest here. ITEMS ON THE WING The Post Office Department has issued a new set of rules governing lawyers who practice before the Post Office Department. Vespasian Warner, Commissioner of Pensions, is fighting his stepmother relative to the division of his father's estate. He claims that she and his stepsisters are of Negro descent, notwithstanding the fact that she had been one of the leaders of Clinton society. He proposes to show that her father was Stephen Robinson, a Ohio Negro. New York is up to date so far as the crime of criminal assaults on women and small girls is concerned. In the last two months one hundred and ten have been committed, their ages running from three and a half years up to sixty-two years; and, to top it off, after being brought before the Police Department, no convictions. We are glad to say that there were only two cases where the colored brother was implicated. In the case of the funeral of Brother J. H. Wayne the Masons failed to be on hand the day the body was committed to the ground. The ceremonies only performed were by the U. V. U.'s. The only Masons present were Comrade H. C. Saunders and R. D. Goodman, of Compacks, and Comp. James Saunders, of Felix Lodge (Virginia Avenue Faction). There was much talk by those present about the affair, as Comrade Mayne was a very eminent man and deserved all the honors, etc. The Marriage Bill, as passed by the Legislature of New York, has some delicate provisions. No marriage can be performed until five days after the issuance of license, and similar other clauses. The main object is to knock out elopements. 1907. Robert Reyburn, M.D., Dean.
